  • Made this for dinner tonight- it was great!
    I used orange marmalade since my store didn’t seem to have orange preserves and the chicken had a very strong orange flavor. Is that because I used marmalade and nos preserves??

    Fabulous recipe otherwise!

  • Hi! If you want it to have less of an orange flavor, skip the OJ and maybe use less Orange marmalade and add some brown sugar to sweeten it up!

  • I used marmalade too. It has orange rind in it which makes it have a stronger orange flavor. It was still delicious!! Since orange preserves seems to be hard to find, I think Apricot preserves with the orange juice would work too.

  • I only have Selwyn Segal’s orange marmalade, it is very sweet, so I would only use a third of the recipes requirements, and of course the flavour wouldn’t dominate the other flavours,
